😬 First home buyer regrets to avoid 😬⁣
⁣
Here are the top regrets of first home buyers have about their mortgage, according to a survey by Money.com.au.⁣
⁣
Paying too much in loan fees was the number one mistake. 💸⁣
⁣
That’s followed by not having a loan with a competitive interest rate. 📉⁣
⁣
Money.com.au found many first-time home buyers just apply for a loan with the first lender they come across. ⁣
⁣
It’s only later they realise they have a loan that doesn’t suit their long-term needs. ⁣
⁣
Skip the potential regrets. 🚫⁣

⚠️ Renovations that could lower your home’s value ⚠️⁣
⁣
There’s a lot at stake with home renovations - just because you spend money on home improvements, doesn't guarantee it will increase its value.🛠️⁣
⁣
Homewares retailer Cooper & Co says more than one-in-three Aussies have renovation regrets. 😬⁣
⁣
Some projects could even wipe up to $36,000 off your home’s value, they say. ⁣
⁣
Prime culprits can include poor-quality laminate flooring, dark finishes that don’t have wide appeal, and open-plan designs that lack privacy. ⁣
⁣
They suggest to skip here-today-gone-tomorrow trends, and instead pick reno options that are more timeless choices. ⏳⁣
⁣
They’re more likely to appeal to buyers and protect long-term value. 🏡⁣

🏡 Offset accounts surge as people manage rising rates 🏡 ⁣
⁣
Instead of being paid interest on money in an offset account, the balance is deducted from your mortgage when interest is calculated each month.⁣
⁣
And because you're then paying more of the principal each month, that reduces your home loan quicker, which also helps you save on interest long term. ⁣
⁣
DM us to see if an offset account could work for you.👇⁣

🏡 Offset accounts surge as homeowners aim to beat rising rates 🏡 ⁣
⁣
Looking for potential ways to beat higher interest rates?⁣
⁣
You're not alone. One of Australia’s big 4 banks, NAB, says they're seeing the uptake of offset accounts “surge”. ⁣
⁣
Here's how they work.⁣
Instead of being paid interest on the money in the linked offset account, the balance is deducted from your mortgage when loan interest is calculated. ⁣
⁣
And that’s just the first way you can save on interest. 💰⁣
⁣
Because you're paying off more of the principal each month, that allows you to chip away at your home loan balance quicker, which in turn can also help you save on interest over the long run. ⁣
⁣
Call us to see if an offset account could be suited to your needs. 👇⁣
